Tag Archives: Odynovo

While I have been pacing up and down, waiting for actual, real live, genuine paperback copies of my book to land on my doorstep; and, while crossing everything crossable that my beloved supporters will get their copies before the public launch date of 9th June, I have been generating PR. I have done Q&As for Bath Life Magazine and Odynovo – the tour operator that I used for my trips to China. I will add the interviews here when they are published. I have also got speaking gigs at the Bristol Lit Fest in October and the Shrewsbury Lit Fest in November 2018.

It’s not long till the launch party in Bath for Stranger In My Heart and I have been ordering special fortune cookies, refining the Spotify playlist, dreaming up decorations and looking forward to chef’s Asian inspired canapes. I am so excited to be welcoming the Mayor of Bath, the current Commanding Officer of Dad’s regiment (19RA, the Scottish Gunners), the ‘next generations’ of Dad’s colleagues from Hong Kong, the person who set the whole book in train and, not least, friends and family who supported the book to get it published.

To calm myself down I have been gardening and watching foals being born. Actually that’s just as exciting.
